How to Make Masa Polenta Cornbread Corn Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups masa harina, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup polenta, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted unsalted margarine, 2 large eggs, 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed if frozen), and 1 1/4 cups milk.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  7. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
